RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTIONINSULATION REQUIREMENTS PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

WHAT’S NEW?• New compliance packages (effective January 1st).

• Introduction of the requirement for continuous insulation to eliminate thermal bridging.

• New airtightness option.

THERMAL BRIDGE: Regulations require that building components creating a thermal bridge are covered with an insulating material. The insulating material must cover the thermal bridge from the exterior, the interior or a combination of both.

AIRTIGHTNESS: Meeting the performance targets can reduce the insulation requirements in a chosen compliance package.

MEET THE 2017 ONTARIO BUILDING CODE

GET STARTEDNew constructions are built according to a chosen compliance package. The compliance package is often chosen by your professional.

First, you may identify whether the construction will be in zone 1 or 2.Second, you may choose your compliance package.

Compliance packages are classified in 3 tables which are divided by the furnace efficiency or whether the home is electrically heated:

• Table A ➙ AFUE ≥ 92% efficient (incl. solid fuel and earth energy systems)

• Table B ➙ 84% ≤ AFUE < 92% efficient (mid-efficient oil furnaces and boilers)

• Table C ➙ Electrically heated homes

To know more about these compliance packages and airtightness targets details, refer to the Ontario Building Code 2017 or visit our website.

OBC 2017: achieve the airtightness performance targets & reduce your construction cost.

If airtightness is achieved, ISOFOIL 3” could be used as a possible substitution for basement wall insulation (reduction to R15-continuous insulation). Save time and money with only 1 product to install. Meeting the airtightness performance targets can reduce the requirements in a chosen package, including insulation. Ask your professional.

• Choose from the assemblies that meet the effective requirements.- RENOVATION: Make sure to take care of cracks or infiltrations

before starting work.

• Install the insulation vertically on the wall, reflective side to the interior.

• Mechanically attach the insulation using concrete nails if required.- The nail must go about 1” into the concrete.

• Leave a space of about 1/4” to 1/2” between the concrete floor and the furring.

• Seal all joints with a reflective vapour barrier tape.• Seal the joints where openings, floors and ceilings meet using a

sealant (acoustic sealant, etc.) to not leave an air space between the concrete wall and the insulation.

• According to the chosen assembly, position the furring 1” x 3” at 16” or at 24” o/c or install the structure in front.- Ensure that the air spaces created by the furring or the structure

are closed at the top and the bottom as well as around openings to avoid air leaks.

• Cover with a thermal barrier (gypsum).
